EUGENE -- After reportedly meeting with Oregon coach Dana Altman on Tuesday to discuss his future with the team, junior guard Joseph Young tweeted Wednesday evening a possible clue into his intentions of whether or not to forgo his senior season and declare early for June's NBA draft.

Young tweeted: "Make what's best for u and the family #NextLevel #NextStep."

Young, a 6-foot-2 shooting guard equally as comfortable with the catch-and-shoot as going off the dribble, averaged 18.9 points per game in his debut season in Eugene. He spent the two prior seasons playing at Houston, his hometown university where his father, Michael, became a first-round NBA draft pick in 1984 and later a staff member.

Oregon finished 24-10 in 2013-14, losing its final game to Wisconsin in the NCAA Tournament third round after holding a 14-point lead in the first half. Young scored 29 points in the finale, third-most by a Duck in any NCAA Tournament game.

Should Young stay, Oregon will have seven projected returning scholarship players and seven projected incoming recruits, one more than the NCAA scholarship limit of 13.

If he leaves, UO must replace one of the nation's top scorers, who ranked 51st in scoring average and 25th in points per 100 possessions. Young is ranked by DraftExpress as the 34th-best player in the junior class, and the 2014 NBA draft is widely considered by evaluators such as DraftExpress and more to be one of the deepest ever.

Underclassmen declaring for the draft have until April 9 to apply for feedback from the NBA’s Undergraduate Advisory Committee, and will receive an evaluation by April 14 at the latest.

But players who haven’t signed an agent and are unsure whether to will keep their name in the draft face a quick turnaround to make a decision: the NCAA’s deadline for players to withdraw while keeping their eligibility is April 15.
